You can’t trust most of those on a benefit to not destroy your crops, damage the plant and sabotage the packing do they get bored off the site and can go back to sitting on the couch.

Dig.As a longtime grower I have to say that decisions being made about planting at the present time lack thought.
The strawberry grower cannot expect to plant a large area and then just demand pickers.People are not going to pick strawberries for a pittance and then be told they are no longer wanted when the crop is finished.Bad planning.
Corporates are planting hundreds of acres of apples in HB right now and will expect the government to allow cheap labour from overseas to harvest in two or three years time.Sorry the corporates are mainly offshore owned and have stuffed the industry.There is little benefit to NZ from this approach.

Prison chain-gangs. Free cigarettes for the best picker.

We tried using WINZ hires for a cleaning company. Roughly $25 per hour cleaning. Not one came wanting to work, they were going through the notions to retain their benefit. The one guy we interviewed that wanted to work was a yoing Indian student, who had a visa expiring and who could not get it renewed. He came to the interview with business development ideas and was raring to go. But no visa, no hire. Yet the polar opposite to the benefiary culture.

Result:
No 84%
Yes 16%

That is not surprising. Labour don’t know what they want The DimLibs don’t want out, nor do the freeloading Welsh, and Scots.

It’ll be interesting to see if he is now brought back to court and charged with assault and whether the sentence will be cumulative.

This from the Judge.
“People who brought infants and firearms together should expect stern penalties, he said…”

Then he sentences the filthy scumbag to just a couple of years in the hotel/prison.
What’s the bet it’s out in under 12 months. The judge is a dud.

Its pretty simple
Any person in court for a violent offence should be handcuffed.

Shot.

I thought the same. We are now a country of complainers taught to seek their 15 minutes of fame. What happened to the personal resilience Kiwis have always been known for?

Labour fill up Wellington offices with seat warmers. Any Wellington commercial landlord would love that.

ED that joke is not funny!
Its probably very true.

That reminds me of the joke I heard on RNZ Morning Report this morning from none other than Sleaze Galloway.

Ferguson was interviewing Sleaze over the reinstating of the wage setting of MPs salaries.

Sleaze came out with this gem….

“We have to pay attractive salaries to ensure parties are attracting high calibre people to be MPs”….

At which point I’m running of a list in my mind…like
Chloe Swarfega;
G Golly
Mega Fightiri
Phil Twitford
The Silly Little Girl
Clare Curran
David Clark
Kelvin Davis (is he on witless protection again?)
Gareth Hughes
JAG(uar)
Marama Davison
Willie Jackson
James Shaw
Grant Robertson
Skid Mark
Shane Indiana Jones
David Parker
Carmel Septic Tank
The Toxic Gnome
Jenny Selesi
Megan Woods
Michael Woods
Angry Andrew
Ginny Andersen
Chippy Hipkins
SLeaze Galloway
Tracey Martin
The other female (**** Marcroft) NZF MP from Rodney
Maria Lubhic
The Labour lister from Northland
The rest of the Liebore Maori caucus
Eugene Sage….

Sh*t, that list is frightening, we pay for it and we are told these are high calibre people.

Brings back that old saying:
`Many a true word said in jest’.

Why does he not just rule him out.

What would have happened if Winston had gone with National?
What sort of bargain would he have driven?

The biggest success there could possibly be next election is the failure of the greens to reach 5%. I will buy a $300 bottle of Scotch to celebrate.

Just need NZ First to bail on it and it would be dead in the water. They did run that odd poll on firearms on their website a couple of weeks ago, I’m betting they’re not so sure.

No longer being prescribed I assume?

Brainwashing is in full swing Tony. The media have their filthy pockets lined with gold to push this shit as dramatically and as hysterically as possible.
The lie will be exposed and they will suffer the consequences.

Yes. She is so utterly stupid she has failed to realize that her hastily rushed in law changes are likely to result in the largest ever increase in guns on the black and grey market in the history of this country. You will have noticed that news of the confiscation is not very prevalent these days, that is because it is becoming clearer by the day that it is not being well supported. Police staff were ordered to hand in their own personal guns early so as to give the impression of massive compliance but, embarrassingly, that ain’t happening. Meanwhile those of us who have handed in our guns are upgrading. When I take delivery of my new rifle in the next couple of weeks I will have 50% more guns than I handed in all paid for by you the taxpayer, thanks very much.

Simon asked 6 different ways in the House today how much taxpayers money will be going to the purchase of Ihumatao. She refused to answer any of his questions. Simon obviously has information to the contrary up his sleeve.

She’s just recounting Shane Jones reforestation balance sheet. After Treedee is tree ee, Which is booked in for a planting ceremony mid 2020. So…. full steam ahead!!

You say
“Whats wrong with her? ”

Well she is a low IQ, country hick who has swallowed the socialism scam hook, line and sinker.
Look at Obama. His diction outside speeches prepared by others was similarly country hick.
Yeehaw.

The years of Mormon teachings would have knocked the ability to ‘question and grow’ right out of her- during the formative years.
She is low energy (eating disorders?) so never made the effort to train the brain.
The speaking is terrible but so was that of Julia Gillard – another Down Under female Labour PM who retreated to calling ‘misogynist’ when in a pickle.

Glad to see that someone is finally listening.

If it becomes law I hope he promises to repeal it in the first 90 days. Would go a very small way to say sorry for rolling over on the first one.

I saw a room for rent on Trademe where they said only Muslims.
I was tempted to apply and say that I am a practicing jew.
(I was also tempted to report them to Trademe)

……”Is rugby fun to watch stoned?”……

It’s okay but I still prefer women’s beach volleyball. 🙂

Sure looks like the cops are hand in glove with the COL.
There was a time when Public Servants kept their noses out of party politics.

Anti gun zealot Cahill has done immeasurable damage to the reputation of the police, already suffering due to the willingness of senior police to allow themselves to become politicized, and the respect in which Arms Officers and police in general were held by the licenced firearms owning community. His shrill attempts to blame LFOs for the inability of the police to properly administer the Arms Act thereby allowing Tarrant to obtain a firearms licence which he should not have been able to do and to tackle unlicenced violent criminals who sometimes use illegally held firearms (among many other forms of weapons) makes him sound like an idiot. He should wind his neck in. As for the National Party it is encouraging that they seem, at last, to be beginning to act like a proper opposition party keeping the follies and excesses of the governing coalition in some sort of check.

Corbyn made a tricky move and Boris has headed him off!
Hard Brexit and no Payment!
Take that Macron and your bitch Merkel.
